Always perform the partition validity checks when creating new
primary/extended/logical partitions, and also when a new partition
is automatically created when unpartitioned space is selected for
ReactOS installation.
CORE-12246
This will allow compatibility with modern OSes and
modern disk management utilities.
It will also improve performances by properly aligning
partition start.
And it will let enough room at the begin of the disk
for 3rd party bootloaders.
WARNING: this is not compatible with previous partition
model, and old one will likely not be compatible. You'll
have to erase your whole partition table and start from
scratch.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Convert PARTENTRY::DriveLetter to WCHAR.
- SETUPLIB: Retrieve volume label.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Move the partition types (IDs) table from
USETUP to SETUPLIB so that they can share it with the 1st-stage
GUI installer too. Also take the opportunity to update the table
with information from http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
and cross-checked with the list from Paragon Hard-Disk Manager.
- USETUP: Simplify PrintPartitionData().
- Add some code comments.
- Use adequate access flag when opening symbolic links.
- Simplify the prototype of UpdateRegistry() since now both Setup INF
handle and settings lists are inside the USETUP_DATA structure.
This allows using some of the SetupApi.dll functions when SETUPLIB is
used in the (Win32) GUI 1st-stage installer "REACTOS", while using the
custom implemented NT-aware functions in "USETUP".
This includes also to remove the created symlinks.
Symlinks deletion is special, as one has to open first the symlink
itself (and not its target), then remove the "SymbolicLinkTarget" value
before really deleting the key. Of course everything must be done under
proper access rights.
Additional changes:
- Change prototype BOOLEAN CmpLinkKeyToHive(...) to NTSTATUS CreateSymLinkKey(...).
- Silence few DPRINTs.
- Document some FIXMEs that I need to inspect later on ReactOS.
- HKEY --> HANDLE.
- It can therefore be also used by the 1st-stage GUI setup.
- Rename some function parameters to clarify what they should be.

- Apart from allowing a UI cache variable that may be used when
displaying GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY-ies, do not store any display strings
associated to these list entries. They should be instead computed only
when initializing a list UI (or a combo-box or list control if the
code is used in Win32 environment).
For this matter a callback is provided to InitGenericListUi() that
does the job of computing the displayed string corresponding to a
given GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY.
- Simplify the calls to InitGenericListUi(), and refactor the
RestoreGenericListUiState() function.
- Use for-loops for iterating over GENERIC_LIST items.
- Adapt the storage data format for lists of settings items.
- The txtsetup.sif INF format specified in LoadSetupInf() should not be
INF_STYLE_WIN4 (to be investigated...).
- Use OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE when initializing object attributes
(no actual reason why to keep case sensitivity there).
- Check the success of a RtlStringCchPrintfW call in EnumerateReactOSEntries().
- Explicitly check for returned STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from ChkdskPartition()
or FormatPartition(), and display an appropriate error message.
- Remove some left-over comments but also explain why I kept some
commented code (mainly for future reference).
Comment about the status of two '#if 0'.
[SETUPLIB] Fix some uninitialized variables (caught by clang-cl).
Also, initialize NtName->Length in return paths in ResolveArcNameManually().
Only convert to ANSI when needed (e.g. in the display code for usetup).
The 1st-stage GUI setup will however use the UNICODE strings directly.
